YOU

With every thought

My heart leaps

WIth every dream

My arms seek

With every wish

My knees are weak

With every prayer

I pray for you

(KIDS POEM) "Olly the Ostrich"

Olly the Ostrich

Loved to sing

She was the best

Well, her and the King

She would stand up tall and clear her throat

Keeping her balance

Upon the Boat

She was quite amazing

As you can see

Singing, yes singing

Perfectly on key

She would kick one leg

And flap one wing

She really upstaged

That poor little King

He sang his best

But all did see

Olly was best

She was queen of the sea!

She spent her time
Imagining the things
And marvelous works
God would do
Dreaming big dreams
She set out to do
What she thought she should do
Some called her silly
And others just laughed
At the thought of this girl
And the dreams that she had
She continued to reach
And struggle too
For what is a dream
If it comes easy to you
Step by step
Day by day
She remained faithful
To the dreams God embedded in her heart
When peoples opinions
Clouded her dreams
She gave them to God
And out burst new streams
As time went by
She reflected in thought
To the faithfulness of God
Who day by day
Took her dreams
And her too
For the seed of desire
Her dreams came true
And now her hearts desire
Is in full bloom

As time goes by

My desires grow intense

And I fear You have forgotten

My hearts cry

But the truth is

You remember quite clear

And it's me who's forgotten

Your hearts cry

Your desires are just as intense

Your hearts cry

Is that I learn to trust in You
